Sometimes we get really lucky over here at ye olde dank tank. Today is one of those days. Yeah, we are coming to you a few days early – again – but it has been an incredibly productive spring in the world of brutal death metal, making it all but impossible to keep up with all the blasting, bursting, crushing, pounding goodness! As a result, we've had to up our dank game.
So, what does this mean for you? It means that your usual, boring-ass Monday is about to become a blah-pulverizing day of unadulterated brutality. How is this possible, you ask? Well, It's quite simple. We happen to have the worldwide exclusive stream of a brand new song from legendary Canadian brutal death metallers, BLOOD OF CHRIST. This is big. How big? Read on to find out…
Blood Of Christ was formed waaaaay back in '94 – amid a boom in brutal Canadian death metal. It was during this time that they got their start alongside fellow Northern Hyperblast kings, Cryptopsy and Kataklysm. In fact, those early days saw Blood Of Christ sharing the stage with both these bands, on numerous occasions. A literal triumvirate of Brutal Canadian Death Metal.
This was a different time in the realm of brutal death metal. It was a second wave of sorts, with the newer bands taking cues from the godfathers of BSDM – bands such as Suffocation, Internal Bleeding, Gorguts, etc. Without wanting to simply rehash what had come before them, the guys in BOC added a unique flair all-their-own, a sound self-described as Epic Dark Metal. With that descriptor as their template, Blood Of Christ brought brutal to a whole new level of cranial-smashing dankness.
After several critically-acclaimed albums throughout the late 90s and early '00s, Blood Of Christ called it a day, with members moving onto various projects and ventures. But the story doesn't end there.
We are pleased to announce that Blood Of Christ have reformed after a ten-year hiatus. To mark this occasion, they have decided to brutalize us all with a brand new single, conjured up in the form of "Echoes From The 7th Dimension" – a world exclusive stream brought to you by Metal Injection and our friends over at Slam Worldwide.
The song is from Blood Of Christ's forthcoming, as-yet-untitled, full-length album, expected to see the light of day in the fall via CDN Records. Let's do this, fuckers!
In the meantime, the song is available at all major digital music outlets (Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube, Microsoft Groove, ClaroMusica, Saavn, and MediaNet). Stay tuned to the official Blood Of Christ Facebook page for updates and new happenings.
